The writer took aspects of that novel. The neon DMC logo that Dante gave to Nero was shown in 5. The DMC1 Novel goes against what happens in DMC3, but that's canon now. In the DMC1 Novel there was no Rebellion, Dante used the Force Edge.

The wiki lists it as semi-canon. "Any events that is able to fit within the story of the video-game, however, is canon."
